Driving to work on Tuesday morning.
I get stuck behind a car doing about 20mph. I start cursing the slow @rse in front of me. Next thing I know the car feels like it's on a skidpan.
I steer into the skid and straighten the car. Hmmm...very weird.
It happens again so I pull over.
The back of the car looks like:
I get the car recovered to a garage. This has happened:
The replacement part is dealer/TPS only part and was stupid money + vat.
A quick call to A8 Parts and a replacement was on its way.
Could somebody please post the rear suspension diagram as it seems either something has either fallen to bits or fell off. There may be a spacer missing the mechanic is not sure. I also need the part numbers for the bolts if you have them.
I'm not happy it happened but glad it was at 20mph and not 70 as I might not have been posting this.
As always guys your help is appreciated.
A bit of a close call this one.
